Hall County is offering Christmas tree disposal sites to the public though Monday, Jan. 6.
As part of the “Bring One for the Chipper” tree recycling program, members of the public can bring live trees to any one of Hall’s 12 compactor sites as well as the recycling center, according to county officials.
“This initiative not only serves as a way to turn discarded Christmas trees into a great resource for County residents, but it also keeps the trees from taking up valuable space at the Hall County Landfill,” Hall County Resource Recovery Supervisor Bobby Purdum said.
All trees must be undecorated, and no artificial trees will be accepted, as all live trees will be recycled into mulch – available free of charge to Hall County residents.
“If you don’t have a tree to recycle, chances are you have collected more than a few cardboard boxes this holiday season, so we also want to remind our citizens to recycle those at any of our 12 compactor sites or the recycling center,” Purdum said.
Free mulch may be picked up from the Hall County Landfill, which is located at 1700 Oakbrook Dr. in Gainesville, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
